If you’re reading this, you’re probably not looking for a cookie-cutter ballroom in your hometown. You’re dreaming bigger. Bluer. Warmer. Maybe with the soft crunch of white sand underfoot and the salty kiss of ocean breeze as you whisper “I do.” Welcome to Praslin Island, Seychelles—where weddings are less about tradition and more about magic.
Let’s dive into the best wedding venues this island has to offer, with a pinch of personality, a dash of practical advice, and a sprinkle of SEO (because Google deserves some romance too).
1. Raffles Seychelles – Ultra-Luxe with a View

Imagine 86 private villas, infinity pools, and panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. Now add your love story. That’s Raffles. Whether you want an intimate vow exchange at Anse Takamaka or a full-blown tropical soirée under the stars, Raffles delivers.
Bonus: It has the island’s largest pool. Yes, someone will 100% jump in after too much Champagne.
2. Le Domaine de La Réserve – Private, Peaceful, and Oh-So-Beautiful
💍 Website: Le Domaine de La Réserve
Hidden in a secluded marine park, this resort screams “exclusive” without actually screaming. With palm-lined beaches and coral reefs just a snorkel away, it’s ideal for nature lovers who want elegance minus the flash.
Picture this: barefoot vows, waves gently lapping in the background, and a sunset that looks like it was made by a Renaissance painter.
3. Berjaya Praslin Resort – Simple, Sandy, and Sunset-Ready

If you’re all about that toes-in-the-sand, hair-saltier-than-your-aunt vibe, Berjaya might be your match. Think laid-back luxe, beachside charm, and a golden-hour glow you’ll remember forever.
Hot tip: Their staff knows how to throw a sunset reception that’ll have even your grumpy uncle tearing up.
4. Constance Lemuria – Luxury, Golf, and Secluded Beaches
💍 Website: Constance Lemuria
Looking for high-end romance? Constance Lemuria is nestled among three (yes, three!) beaches, including the world-famous Anse Georgette. From helicopter arrivals to candlelit dinners overlooking the ocean, it’s glam without guilt.
Bonus: There’s a championship golf course. So yes, you can marry your soulmate and beat your best man in the same weekend.
5. Paradise Sun Hotel – For the Colorful Couple
💍 Website: Paradise Sun Hotel
Set on Anse Volbert, this Creole-style haven is bright, breezy, and full of life. Ideal for couples who want color, joy, and dancing under fairy lights until the stars go to sleep.
6. Wild & Free Beaches: Anse Lazio & Anse Georgette
Let’s not forget the real stars of Praslin: the beaches. If you’re into wild beauty and minimalism, skip the resort and head to Anse Lazio or Anse Georgette. These iconic beaches are consistently ranked among the world’s best—and they won’t charge you for ocean views.
Just remember: a little planning (and maybe a permit) goes a long way.
When to Say “I Do” in Seychelles
Seychelles is a year-round paradise, but May to September brings the driest, coolest weather—ideal for weddings. And no hurricane season? Yes, please.
